Female Novel
Chapter 988
After thinking for a while, Grace looked at Lawrence helplessly.
She sneered and said, "Master Jones, selfishness is sometimes good. So according to your opinion, all of us could be a littlemore selfish. If Heinz is genuinely selfish, he wouldn't have given you the money to stay in a hotel. If | were to be a little moreselfish, you wouldn't even have been able to enter our door."
Lawrence was mortified by her words.He looked at her and said coldly, "You are so disrespectful toward your elders. Who taught you that?”
"It's all thanks to you." Grace replied just as indifferently. "You eloped with Candace, and | didn't have a mother. That's why |wasn't raised well."
Lawrence was shocked to hear this.
Then, Grace turned her back on him as she couldn't be bothered anymore.
She turned around and saw Heinz.
He was standing not far behind while he stared at
Lawrence who had a gloomy look on his face.
When Grace turned around and saw him, she immediately came to her senses.
When she approached him, Heinz reached out to hold her hand and then they walked into the house together.Lawrence looked at their backs for a moment before leaving.
When Heinz and Grace arrived at the door, she asked in a low voice, "Are you all right?”
Heinz nodded. "Yes."
He did not hide the fact that he was feeling quite miserable. That kind of feeling was indescribable.He raised his head and said, "They are used to being selfish. They won't consider anyone's feelings."
Grace replied, "That's right. They don't care about other people's feelings. They only care about themselves. However, we aredifferent. We would consider everyone's feelings. That's why it's more tiring.”
"Those with a sense of responsibility and morality tend to feel tired. We know better than them." She held Heinz's hand andcoaxed, "Let's go. Don't dwell on it."
He smiled and agreed, "Okay."
The two of them went into the house together and proceeded to chat with Nerissa and Zachary for some time. Soon, Jensencame back with his subordinates.
After that, Grace and Alice signed the papers together.
After they signed the paperwork, they would be able to retrieve the body.However, Grace said to everyone, "Guys, | have something to tell you.""What is it?" Everyone looked at her.
"| want to scatter Mom's ashes," Grace said. "| thought of it earlier this afternoon. When Master Jones came to get her ashes andrequested to be buried together with, | got this idea."
"Scatter her ashes?" Alice was stunned for a while but she immediately understood Grace's intention. "You are afraid that MasterJones will make a fuss about Mom's ashes and insist on being buried together. If we do this, he won't be able to find her. Bythen, even if he wanted to make a fuss, he couldn't."
"That does save a lot of trouble," Grace spoke as she nodded her head. "I seriously think that this is the best way to do it, so |wanted to talk it over with everyone. If Alice agrees, it will be settled." "| agree." Without any hesitation, Alice nodded inagreement.
Listening to them, Nerissa was slightly stunned. She asked Grace, "But will it really be a good decision? After all, there are someold sayings that one has to be buried in order to rest in peace. If Candace's ashes are scattered, won't you be labeled asunfilial?"
“Aunt Nerissa, | don't care about my reputation. | have a clear conscience. My mother had done my father, Heinz's mother, aswell as my grandmother wrong. It is only reasonable that they should pay the price." Grace explained, "They are not taking anyactions and are not serious about the burial. | think that it's ridiculous. Since they are so unaware, let's help them realize what isat hand."
“Heinz, what do you think?" Jensen asked Heinz.
Heinz shook his head and replied, "I don't think it's appropriate. Zachary and | have already booked the cemetery and paid thedeposit. It's better to bury her."
He looked at Grace, knowing that she was doing this for his own sake, but he didn't want to put her in a difficult position.
"No, since Alice and | have decided on this matter, let's follow our idea." Grace looked at both Heinz and Jensen. "Take back thebody and let Lowell have a look at it. After that, she will be cremated and there is no need to hold any funeral."
"Grace!" Nerissa was still worried. "Shouldn't we at least hold a funeral?”
“Aunt Nerissa." Grace looked at her and said, "We are only doing this for the sake of those who are alive. Those who have diedare all empty-handed. There is no need to hold a funeral, and there is no need to bother everyone. Just scatter the ashes willdo."
"But..." Nerissa turned to look at Zachary with concern.
Zachary thought for a moment and spoke up, "Let's just do as Grace says. | also think that being alive is what matters. Once youdie, everything will be unmeaningful.”
And thus, the decision was made.
After that, they went to retrieve Candace's body. Heinz sent someone to pick Lowell up. He also informed Timothy, and everyonewent to the funeral hall to see Candace one last time.
When Lowell learned of the news of his mother's death, he was devastated and cried for a long time.
Alice's eyes were also red. She looked at the pale woman who was lying in the cold coffin, her face covered with frost. Thecorpse looked so bad that even the makeup the mortician had put on didn't help to conceal her unpleasant appearance.
Meanwhile, Alice had an indescribable feeling in her heart.
Tears welled up in Lowell's eyes as he sobbed silently.
It was a feeling that made one feel a sense of pity.
Alice took his hand and held it tightly.
Grace held Heinz's hand and went to the hall.
In the crematorium, they watched as Candace's body was thrown into the furnace.
Grace murmured softly, "Alas, a life has ended just like that."
How short and how much regret there was.
Candace was not loved properly nor was she cherished. In the end, only regrets were left behind.

The path lies under one's feet. If one took one wrong step, every step following that would be wrong as well.
After thinking for a while, Grace felt emotional.
An hour and a half later, the body had turned into ashes.
Heinz did not ask Grace to collect the ashes. Instead, he, Jensen, and Zachary collected the ashes and put them into a jar.When they got into the car, Grace looked at the jar and said, "Scatter the ashes in Grandma's flower field.”
Heinz was stunned.
